Ingredients
- 2 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Before you begin cooking, it’s important to properly prepare the vegetables. Start by washing the broccoli florets under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris. Slice the mushrooms into even, bite-sized pieces.
2. Stir-frying is a quick and healthy cooking method that preserves the vibrant colors and crisp textures of your ingredients. To achieve the perfect Broccoli and Mushroom Stir-Fry, you’ll need a large skillet or wok and high heat. Begin by heating the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and freshly grated ginger. Sauté these aromatic ingredients for about 30 seconds.
3. Now it’s time to add the star ingredients: the broccoli florets and sliced mushrooms. Stir-fry these vegetables for 4-5 minutes, or until they’re tender-crisp and still retain a vibrant color.
4. Next, it’s time to introduce the flavorful sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey. Pour this mixture into the skillet and continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.
5. Finally, season the Broccoli and Mushroom Stir-Fry with a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. If desired, garnish the dish with a sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds for a delightful crunch and nutty aroma.
